Well, that change of theme really shut me up.

I am sitting here, listening to a Fresh Air interview that I've already heard, thinking about all the websites I could possibly visit in order to avoid having to write this paper. This stomachache-inducing paper. Which I will have to present at a conference in Alabama next week. A thought that has me paralyzed. Although it will require me to buy a "conference outfit" and since I finally got paid yesterday, the idea of new clothes is the only thing keeping me okay with the world.

In the past couple of weeks, absolutely nothing has happened. Dave is getting closer to finishing his final project. We've started watching Deadwood on DVD. I saw Darjeeling Limited, which has some people scowling. But I kind of liked it. I didn't dress up for Halloween. I've made three different kinds of soup: a weird Tuscan tomato bread soup, lentil soup, and split pea. Soup-making is a lot of fun, but requires dicing a few too many onions. Think on that.
